On Huongdanviendulich.vn, there are two ways to find a tour guide. The first is to browse the list and choose a guide yourself. The second is to post a request for guides to send you quotes. Each method is suitable for a different situation.
Method 1: Search the tour guide directory yourself
Go to the tour guide directory, filter by destination and language, then view profiles and contact guides directly.
Suitable when:
- You already know exactly what you want, such as a female Korean-speaking guide in Da Nang.
- You prefer to read profiles and view photos and reviews before starting a conversation.
- The destination is popular and has many guides to choose from.
Limitation: It takes time to message each guide to ask about availability and prices. The guide you like may already be fully booked.
Method 2: Post a request and receive quotes from guides
Post a request describing your trip. Guides who are available and suitable for your needs will proactively send you proposals.
Suitable when:
- You do not know whom to choose, or the destination has few guides.
- You need a special language or skill, such as interpreting, group activities, trekking, or an easy rider.
- You are traveling in a large group and need to compare multiple prices.
- You are busy and want guides to contact you proactively.
Limitation: You have to wait for responses, so you should post your request well before your travel date.
Quick comparison table
| Criteria | Search yourself | Post a request |
|---|---|---|
| Time required | More, as you must contact each guide | Less, as you only need to fill out one form |
| Who takes the initiative | You | The tour guide |
| Confirmed availability | You have to ask | Guides who send quotes are usually available |
| Comparing prices | Difficult | Easy, as the quotes are displayed side by side |
| Best suited for | People who know exactly what they want | People who do not know whom to choose, are traveling in a group, or need specific skills |
| Cost for travelers | Free | Free |
Combine both methods
The most effective approach is to use both: browse the directory to understand typical prices and the types of guides available at your destination, then post a request so available guides can contact you proactively. If you find a profile you really like, you can still message that person directly.
Advice
- If there are fewer than 3 days left before your trip: search and contact guides directly to finalize arrangements quickly.
- If there is at least 1 week remaining: post a request to get more options.
- Traveling in a group of 10 or more, or need to combine tours and transportation: we recommend posting a tour request so travel agencies can provide an all-inclusive quote.
